Reply #66: You should be even more Republican than her [View All]

What sometimes works for me with my Republican family is to take their statements and throw back the extreme version of it. Drives them nuts.

Republican: "Well, it looks like our president is finally going to be the one to fix Social Security so I can keep the money I pay into it."

Extreme reply: "Yeah, those old people have been leeching off me for years. If they weren't smart enough to save up for their retirement, they deserve to eat dog food."

Republican: "Why do you Democrats keep complaining about casualties in Iraq? It used to be that people were glad to give their lives for their country."

Extreme reply: "Because we want to make sure that the ones dying for their country are the Iraqis. What we need to do is rape all their women and force them to convert to Christianity. Make an example out of Iraq and those ayatollahs in Iran will be praying to Jesus and begging for mercy."
